Hi, I usually browse voyager and like to share some funny memes. I'm used to browsing inside Firefox through wefwef.app there to share I long press an image and click Share as an image. on PWA I d'ont have share as an image in that menu. I tried the share button but it just download an image on the phone instead of opening my app of choice with the img. I'm on android

It's a Firefox thing. The context menu in pwa mode is different from the normal one. This is most likely a bug.

A workaround I sometimes use, is to go to the notification drawer, click the silent pwa notification to copy the URL of the current page, share the copied URL with firefox and finally use the normal context menu.

    Is there a way to modify context menu on pwa? thanks for the workaround I'll check if it easier or if I'll stay on the in browser app.

    I thought the website was vger.app. But that's just a side point, sorry I can't help you.

    I'm using the PWA on android (with Vivaldi browser) and I just long-press the image and get the share image option... so, I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

    You can also use the 3-dots-menu by the post to get that option.

    The share as image download the image instead of opening the share menu. I'll stay with in Web app instead of pwa in the end I guess.

    You can long press any part of the post that doesn't have the image, or press the ellipsis as someone else mentioned.

    Long pressing the image triggers the default Android behavior.
